Two Irish activists at the "No to NATO - No to War" Conference in Strasbourg on 3-5 April presented an innovative, hi-tech approach to monitoring transits by US military and CIA aircraft at the supposedly "civilian" airport at Shannon, in the west of Ireland. And the sophisticated cyber warfare that has been waged against their website suggests that their hi-tech surveillance activities present a real threat to the interests of the military-industrial complex.

Below is a series of three videos made at the regular monthly ShannonWatch vigil on 8th March 2009. The vigil, which is held to highlight the airport's complicity in war and human rights violations, coincided with International Woman's Day, and to mark the occasion a number of speakers addressed the vigil.
